COACHES
We can’t do this without you! If you’re interested in volunteering to be a Coach or an Assistant Coach please email us as soon as possible at info@fhsoccerclub.org or text John Weil at 480-387-2097 or Pat Dooly at 714-234-7287. There will be a coach training clinic in August before the season starts.
UNIFORMS
Uniforms will be provided and include a jersey, soccer socks, and black shorts. Shin guards are required. We recommend each child also have soccer cleats and a ball labeled with their name.. Anyone who is experiencing financial hardship and needs assistance purchasing shin guards, please contact the club. Soccer balls will be available to borrow each practice for anyone who needs one.
FREE HALO HEADBANDS
Thanks to a generous donation from our Title Sponsor, the Verne C. Johnson Family Foundation, a protective Halo headband will be offered to each player at no charge during the registration process. We chose to offer the Unequal Halo 3 Headband after extensive research and reviewing the safety ratings on the Virginia Tech head protection website. Since 2011, Virginia Tech researchers have been providing unbiased helmet ratings that allow consumers to make informed decisions when purchasing helmets. The helmet ratings are the culmination of over 10 years of research on head impacts in sports and identify which helmets best reduce concussion risk. This work is done as part of Virginia Tech’s service mission and is 100% independent of any funding or influence from helmet manufacturers.

The first practice & coach introductions will be on Tuesday August 22nd. Practices will be on Tuesdays and Fridays for all age groups until games begin on September 15th.
